Up until a few days ago there was still talk of a new 2K studio in Silicon Valley, which has now got an official name and is called the 31st Union.

31st Union is headed by former Sledgehammer Games founder, Michael Condrey, who will be the first to work on a completely new brand for 2K games. There will be a total of several locations, including in Spain, which is also being presented today.

A statement on the opening says:

“31st Union is off to an incredible start with a passionate and talented team, an intended culture that promotes inclusiveness and stronger representation, and an ambitious and inspired new IP that we look forward to,” said Michael Condrey. “Our name and studio represent the spirit of California in its rich variety of thoughts, art, music, innovation and cultural representation that have defined the current golden age of entertainment and technology here in Silicon Valley. By unveiling our new identity and announcing the expansion of our business, we are entering an exciting next phase of growth to include more voices and bring our vision to life around the world. "

"We are creating a development environment that focuses on a single new IP that focuses on passion," said Tyler Michaud, Head of Strategy. “We believe that different perspectives and experiences are crucial to create a truly global blockbuster with passion and connection to the fans. "

"We are pleased that the 31st Union team continues to expand and scale internationally," said David Ismailer, President of 2K. “We saw the benefits of this approach in 2K by expanding recruitment efforts and attracting the best talent to bring more diverse perspectives to the creative process. We are optimistic that the Spanish studio will have a positive impact on the 31st Union, and we look forward to hearing more about the studio's new IP in due course. "
